Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained extensive medical instruction with a main focus on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties stretching from normal afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet commonly encounter.
